imwheel service not starting on boot

Hi,
I was annoyed by the low scrolling speed in chromium. Besides following the excellent wiki from arch and installing autoscroll I tried to use Imwheel for increasing my scroll speed. It works however following the wiki my own created service does not start.

Using the steps in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IMWheel I created the systemd service but when I boot journalctl tells me

systemd[967]: imwheel.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

when running it from console the imwheel service starts and works, but with the following comment:

INFO: imwheel is not running as a daemon.

How to solve this so that my service starts?
